Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

The first thing Zhang Ziming wanted to buy was a watch. The "Chunyan" brand watch he was wearing on his hand was borrowed from Xu Yimin. He had to return it as soon as possible when he returned.

Thinking about it, I feel really embarrassed. I first took advantage of Xu Yimin's first novel, and then lent me a bicycle and a watch. I had to thank him properly when I got back.

Of course, Zhang Ziming would definitely not take any material things, and even if he did, Xu Yimin might not accept them.

Zhang Ziming has his own plan. He knows very well what Xu Yimin's inner needs are. On this point, Zhang Ziming is sure of it.

...........

The topic returns to Eastern Guangdong Province. Zhou Jincheng rides a motorcycle as if he is flying. Even if he wears a helmet in the future, he will feel a little dangerous.

I don’t know if this is how Zhou Jincheng usually rides, or if he is deliberately showing off his motorcycle in front of Zhang Ziming.

Zhang Ziming looked in front and on both sides, groaning secretly in his heart.

This motorcycle rides so fast. If there is danger later, I will jump off the motorcycle immediately.

You can't let Zhou Jincheng cause a car accident after he is reborn.

After about ten minutes, Zhou Jincheng stopped the motorcycle. Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way.

Zhang Ziming looked at this place, and the more he looked at it, the less it looked like a place selling things, so he asked with a puzzled look:

"Brother Zhou, can I buy a watch here?"

Zhou Jincheng said seriously:

"A Ming, I believe you, Brother Zhou, just come with me."

The two bypassed the old iron gate and entered a dilapidated yard, which should be an old idle workshop of the food factory next to it.

After entering, I found that there were quite a few people there, in twos and threes, cautious but impatient. There were also a few familiar people who simply said hello to Zhou Jincheng.

However, these people are not Zhou Jincheng's targets.

After Zhou Jincheng came in, he smacked around and then took Zhang Ziming to the northwest corner.

The man was carrying Zhou Jincheng on his back and was smoking. After being patted, he immediately said with a playful smile and a compliment:

"Hey, Brother Zhou, you're here in person. If anything happens, just send a message."

Zhou Jincheng didn't hesitate. He pointed to Zhang Ziming next to him and said to the man in a bossy tone:

"Fat boy, this is my brother, take out your bag and let my brother pick it out."

Just listen to this man named Fatty say with a flattering face:

"Oh, it's easy to say. Since he is Brother Zhou's brother, he is also my fat boy's good brother." As he said this, he opened the canvas bag at his feet.

Zhou Jincheng looked at Zhang Ziming again and said:

"A Ming, this is Fatty. He has watches of all brands. You can choose, and Brother Zhou will pay for it for you."

Zhang Ziming didn't want Zhou Jincheng to foot the bill, and he didn't just want a watch.

Besides, this advantage cannot be taken advantage of.

If this advantage is taken advantage of, it will be difficult to refuse Zhou Jincheng if he makes any request.

Zhang Ziming did not reject Zhou Jincheng face to face. After all, he still had to give face. He just said to the man named Fatty:

"Brother, I'm in trouble"

Zhang Ziming saw that Fatty's canvas bag was filled with all kinds of watches, including some electronic watches.

But Zhang Ziming will not buy these electronic watches. After all, changing the battery of this thing is troublesome.

Since there were choices, Zhang Ziming didn't care. Of course, he would start with the most well-known brands.

After some selection, Zhang Ziming finally took out 2 watches:

A Shanghai brand men's watch and a Shanghai brand women's watch.

Fatty was very happy to see it. After all, there were only a few people who bought two watches at one time.

Even with Zhou Jincheng's face here, there is still money to be made.

Zhou Jincheng's mouth twitched when he saw it. He had just boasted that Haikou would pay for it, and suddenly the two watches felt a bit heavy. Of course, he didn't know that Zhang Ziming wanted to buy two watches.

After Fatty mentioned a price, Zhang Ziming took the initiative to pay. Of course, he couldn't let Zhou Jincheng pay. Just listen to this.

Besides, Fatty also gave Zhou Jincheng a lot of face. At that time, the price of a Shanghai brand watch was 120 yuan, and you had to buy it with a ticket.

Tickets are even harder to come by, so a watch like this has added value.

For the two watches, Fatty only charged Zhang Ziming 260 yuan. It is estimated that others would have spent 300 yuan to buy them normally.

The market price is like this. If you have a ticket, go to a state-owned store and spend 120 yuan. If you don't have a ticket, go to a dealer. It usually costs about 150 yuan.

After buying the watch, Zhou Jincheng drove Zhang Ziming to a place called Buffalo, about half an hour's drive away, where you can buy all kinds of clothes, including jeans.

However, jeans are not within Zhang Ziming's purchase range.

Why do you say that?

First, because in 1980, the Bottle Village Brigade of Dabeihe Commune, Min'an County, Donglu Province, still cannot accept the wearing of jeans, which tightly wraps the buttocks, and will definitely be regarded as alien;

The second reason is that the price of jeans today is still too high, costing tens of dollars a pair, so there is no need to waste this money.

Here in Buffalo, Zhang Ziming doesn't buy too many clothes.

These days, there are still very few people who buy ready-made clothes directly. Most people just rip off the fabric and then go home and use the sewing machine.

Zhang Ziming came here for two main purposes:

The first is to buy clothes for Lin Yuxin. Lin Yuxin is now a private teacher and has a high probability of being admitted to university.

Therefore, Zhang Ziming didn't want his fiancée to still wear her old clothes to school, so he first prepared some clothes for her.

Of course, no matter whether he continues to be a private teacher or goes to university, he will buy two sets of clothes for Lin Yuxin.

After all, you can only hurt your own woman by yourself.

If a man discovers that his woman is hurt by another man, then the green hat is probably not far away.

The second purpose is to buy a set of clothes for my parents.

Although in this era it was common practice to rip the cloth and go home to sew clothes, but even if you rip the cloth and go home, your parents would not be willing to make clothes to wear.

I will definitely keep it for myself, or for making clothes for my younger siblings.

Therefore, Zhang Ziming definitely wants to buy a set of ready-made clothes for his parents. If a set of ready-made clothes cannot be worn by others, then you will wear it after all.

Just like in later generations:

If children living in the city go back to their hometown in the countryside to visit their parents, they leave money directly to their parents.

Then, there is a high probability that the money will be saved and reluctant to spend it.

If you bring something to your parents, it will most likely play a filial role.

After all, things have a shelf life and will go bad if you don’t eat them.

Therefore, if you want to be filial to your parents, it is best to buy things in kind rather than giving money directly.

Zhou Jincheng, who had just stopped his motorcycle, kept urging Zhang Ziming to buy jeans. Indeed, these jeans were really the standard for fashionable young people at that time.

Just listen to Zhou Jincheng sigh:

"Amin, if I were your age, I would definitely put on jeans first. Now that I am almost 40, I would really be embarrassed if I were to wear them. At your age, it would be a pity not to buy them."

Zhang Ziming thought to himself, with your fat and greasy figure, no pants will fit you.

In the end, under Zhang Ziming's careful selection, he took away a total of 4 sets of clothes that can be worn in spring and summer and 2 pairs of women's shoes.

Zhang Ziming thinks this way: his parents each have one set, and Lin Yuxin has two pairs; he also bought two pairs of women's shoes for Lin Yuxin.

Seeing the items Zhang Ziming purchased, Zhou Jincheng also secretly envied Zhang Ziming's fiancée.

In this early 80s, how could anyone be so generous, offering women’s watches, women’s clothes, and women’s shoes?

This made Zhou Jincheng want to buy some clothes for his wife. Although his wife is a little fat, it is still a wife.

But after thinking about it, I gave up. After all, I am not a person with a standard body shape. If I buy ready-made clothes directly, there is a high probability that they will not fit.

At this time, Zhou Jincheng was a good driver, because he had to drive Zhang Ziming to the next place. It must be said that Zhang Ziming had to buy a lot of things.
